House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) lauded the AFL-CIO and Chamber of Commerce on Thursday for teaming up to release a joint set of principles for immigration reform.
“I applaud the Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO for coming together to find common ground in an effort to reform our broken immigration system,” said Cantor in a statement. “Their goal of protecting American workers and ensuring we have the workforce we need to grow the economy and remain globally competitive is one I share. While we may not agree on every aspect, it is encouraging that two groups often on opposite sides of the aisle are serious about putting politics aside and finding solutions. Let’s hope we can follow that lead in the months ahead.”
